    Anyone know where to get a moly block saver plate. We shim the ring gear bolts now to rub on the midplate during tire shake but it gaules the midplate.
    Or any one have any other fix.
    Thanks Bruce.

    Advanced chassis in Antwerp, Oh. Will make you one. I am curious though what is the reasoning for wanting the bolts to hit the block plate?

    We use a 10.7 Crower Clutch and during tire shake the flywheel flexes so mutch it will pound the rear main. When you shim the bolts so the head is .040 away from the midplate it stops the flex and saves the brg.
    Sometimes gaules up the midplate so I am looking for other ideas if anyone can help.
    Thanks Bruce

    How about running the clutch like a fuel clutch deal? Press rub buttons into the back of the flywheel, and have the hard buttons spin about .020" to .040" away from a hard moly surface. Depending upon your setup you may be abe to sandwich a thin moly plate somewhere, or you could machine your aluminum motor plate to accept a moly insert. You running a Ti flywheel or aluminum?
